The New Scrappit Animal Puppet Building Workshop
Workshop runs - Fri-Sun July 17th-19th 1:00-4:30PM
I am happy to announce that the Deluxe Animal Scrappit Workshop is finally available. For years I have been making custom deluxe hand puppets of all sorts. Each of these creations takes around seven to nine hours to create from the patterns that I have created over the years. These are professional hand puppets that are perfect for live performing, YouTube or TikTok videos or just sitting around telling stories with your friends and family. This workshop is spread out over three days, three and a half hours per day, so it will not overwhelm beginners. Included in this workshop are all the patterns to make four of the different puppets and you will be deciding which puppet you wish to create then take the other patterns home as you get inspired to build more. There is simple sewing involved, either straight stitch on a sewing machine here or hand sewing with stitches we teach you. There will be painting eyes and other details and assembling the puppet once it is cut out and ready. I have purchased many materials for this workshop that will be included in your first puppet created. However, if you have a certain fabric or trims or things in mind for your puppet, you are welcome to bring them. Later this year I will be releasing patterns to clothe your puppet if you wish, such as a Tuxedo and top hat, skirt and fancy ladies' hat, hippy vest and sporty hat. These patterns are all designed to fit the Scrappit family of puppets, complete with instructions on how to create them. The Scrappit patterns can easily be converted to create string puppets as well. The patterns are extremely versatile and simple to follow.
Cost is $250 with materials supplied for one creation over the ten and a half three-day workshop, and all patterns for the other characters are included in the package. Age suggestion is 11 years to Adult as this workshop is not for tiny kids and detail oriented. We will be limiting the workshops to 6 students and pick up sessions that can be arranged if you miss one.
Please note that,
Your On-line tickets are printed by us and available for pick up at the Puppet Museum door before the workshop. Doors open for tickets and seating at 12:45PM. Workshop from 1:00-4:30PM Fri-Sun July 17th-19th
